Tim McFarlane has been painting for a long time, along the way becoming a color specialist, conceptual context conneuseur and sure handed painter. Each panel displays the passage of time, speeded down and slowed up, sometimes painting wet into wet, other times letting the layers build creating a completely different temporal distortion.

Bridgette Mayer tells DoN, “I saw something in Tim’s work I really enjoyed and knew that he could develop further. He’s one of those artists that have natural spirit and intensity of purpose.” McFarlane’s one-person show is powerful and full of ideas to steal – like using the grainy wood panels on thin boxes and just painting with a joyous hand.
